the_o other_o sin_n 3._o there_o be_v in_o he_o also_o the_o anger_n of_o zeal_n which_o proceed_v of_o justice_n but_o not_o the_o anger_n of_o revenge_n arise_v from_o sin_n or_o of_o the_o

for_o otherwise_o this_o can_v not_o have_v stand_v either_o with_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o father_n that_o send_v he_o nor_o of_o the_o son_n that_o be_v send_v nor_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n

for_o this_o cause_n there_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o one_o filiation_n if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o subject_a or_o person_n but_o two_o filiation_n if_o we_o respect_v the_o two_o nature_n 11_o we_o

yet_o his_o divinity_n be_v not_o separate_v either_o from_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o body_n for_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v irrevocable_a and_o without_o repentance_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o this_o

of_o those_o wound_n which_o he_o receive_v in_o his_o passion_n both_o to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o by_o they_o to_o make_v intercession_n to_o his_o father_n for_o

own_o power_n that_o be_v of_o his_o human_a nature_n yet_o by_o his_o own_o power_n that_o be_v of_o his_o divinity_n and_o though_o it_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o earthly_a body_n to_o ascend_v it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o body_n as_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v glorify_v to_o ascend_v and_o this_o he_o do_v that_o he_o may_v prepare_v a_o place_n for_o we_o that_o from_o thence_o as_o our_o king_n sit_v on_o his_o throne_n he_o may_v give_v gift_n unto_o man_n as_o our_o high_a priest_n he_o may_v
